NSW Solar Bonus Scheme

The NSW Solar Bonus Scheme ended on 31st Dec 2016. Dr Gill recommended consumers affected by the end of the scheme install a new net meter in order to continue maximising the financial benefit of their solar system.

NSW Solar Bonus Scheme customers have been able to use their electricity bills to view annual savings. While changing to a net meter continues to maximise the financial benefits they should be aware they will no longer be able to use the electricity bill to view savings.

Consumers affected by the end of the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme should consider comparing the various retailer offered smart meters and tariffs. Many will find they can significantly reduce their annual electricity bill.
